Ode to a friend...


My friend!


Within me, you've walked the paths i've let no one else tread through,
From me, you've heard words – silliest, craziest, caring and true…
You and only you, know the negatives that i’m made up of,
Yet you treasure me for what i am, smiling my negatives off!
We fight! …as often as a pessimist’s sigh,
Have been through times we couldn't see eye to eye!
Our friendship has always stood the acid tests of time…
Times, none would ever envy, yet times most sublime!
Let all these memories both forgetful and fond
Forge the extremes that we are, into a lasting bond;
I pray the crossroads of our unique lives would often join,
Even when we take opposite sides, i hope we belong to the same coin…

“Friends are a gift from God!”, or so they say; Whether or not God exists is another topic for another day. But friends are for real! They are the reason I am what I am! Over the years, I've made some truly amazing friends… I've also been a jackass and lost a few… I dedicate this piece to all those special people who have made and still continue to make my life worth living!
